The New Milwaukee Bucks

By Richard J. Steinberg
Thursday, Nov 13 2008, 01:04 PM

Since pro basketball made its debut in Milwaukee, from the Milwaukee Shooting Stars to the Milwaukee Hawks to the champion Milwaukee Bucks of Lou Alcindor fame, the fan support base has been strong. Recent years have seen fair to mediocre teams fall to better teams.

The present Milwaukee Bucks are a product of their loyal and generous owner, Mr. Herb Kohl. He never gives up and never stops trying to bring a winner home.

Maybe the new edition of the Bucks have what it takes, solid management, solid coach and a host of talented players. The passion of Mr. Kohl for a winning team may soon be a reality.

All we ever asked for is a competitive team deep with talented players. This team looks like that.

Certainly, Mr. Kohl has paid the price but the new philosophy of a team effort than an individual performance will get the Bucks closer to their goals.

With or without Michael Redd the Bucks want to win as badly as their owner.

"Patience is a virtue".

This team looks like that?  I must be blind!  I hope the Bucks never have a winning season as long as Kohl owns them!

WHY ?

Because he's INTEWEDM and it seems right to him/her that each and every Bucks fan should suffer the indignation of supporting a losing team just because Herb Kohl owns them! Perhaps the Southern Poverty Law Center would have a term appropriate to describing such a view. As for me, I'm left as perplexed as you are.

Herb Kohl should keep his nose out of the teams business. He has made some choices in the past that were good people but he interferes and they all just say bye, bye Herbie. They have never done well with him as the owner. Really don't care either. He want's a new Bradley , let him pay for it and build it. He then could put his name on the new one and stomp out the generous Bradley foundation that helps in many areas of our community. Very Democratic style of course.

Thanks Larry!  I couldn't have said it better myself!  Kohl owns the Buck because he's a loser as a senator and this gives him recognition, and it keeps him getting reelected to the Senate where he contributes absolutely nothing other than a reliable party-line vote.  He's done nothing for the Bucks that has accomplished anything!  A new Bradley for a perpetual losing team?  I don't think so!
